Disclaimer: I still own nothing. :( But I do own any OCs.
A/N: Anyone else in serious love with 'Glamerella' as much as I am? IT'S SO CUTEEE. Okay, random moment over. :) I'm gonna be working on a new story, and not the horror story I mentioned a few chapters still, but most likely, a Kelly Kelly/OC story. Now, before anyone thinks I've gone off my deep end, it will be a different type of story. I probably will post it in a few weeks, so be on the look out. :) Now, to this story, I wanted this chapter to be longer, but it's average again, sorry. I hope you like it though, I like writing in Beth's POV alot, too. Enjoy. :)
-Beth's POV-
"Something is seriously going on with him," Matt says to me, sipping a beer. We're watching Shannon kick the dirt about 50 feet away, eyes raging. "I have no clue what, though."
I roll my eyes, shaking my head. "I think he likes Charity. And I would think she is pushing him away. It makes him mad." Wasn't it that simple? They had just disappeared together minutes ago, both coming back, Shannon pissed. Charity had grabbed her iPod and laid out on a towel, eyes closed shut. I snickered at Matt, it really was obvious.
"Nah," he said finally, shaking his head. He looks at me then, glancing at the aggravated Shannon once more, cocking his head to the side, eyebrows deep to his eyes. "You really think so?"
"Yes, Matt." Men could be so oblivious to their surroundings sometimes, I swear. Speaking of men, where are Jeff, and Shane? They disappeared a while ago too, leaving Jamie to do the same as Charity.
"Well…weird. She's not his type." He shakes his head again, eyeing Charity.
"She's hot, and female," I scoff. "What else does he need?"
"Shannon likes confidence," he says.
-Matt's POV-
"Shannon likes confidence," I say, biting my lip. I could be confident for Charity and I both. Everyone knows I'm a leader. Hell, I can't help it. I'm just…so good at it. "Charity isn't so confident."
Beth shakes her head. "No, she is confident, but it seems to be hidden. She really does have a big guard up. I seriously hope Shannon didn't try to break through that already." She's chewing on her lip. Jeff and Shane make their presence known, both laughing hysterically.
"Yeah, neither do I," I mumble, staring at Charity. Maybe age difference wasn't such a big deal. Besides, she is legal…and, oh God, what am I saying? I can't like her, it can't happen. She's too young, and I don't want to be the one trying to break through her wall…then again, Shannon could do a lot more damage then I could…
"Matt?"
"Huh?" I blink, realizing I'd zoned out. "Sorry."
"I was saying, maybe you should talk to Shannon, I'll take Charity. Maybe we can see what is going on. Lord knows I'm not letting Jeff give her advice again." We both smile weakly at the memory. Sometimes, that boy has such a big mouth.
"Alright." This isn't going to be good; I can't help but think, shaking my head. Beth leaves me to Shannon, heading over to Charity. I eye her one last time before walking towards the Prince of Punk and sighing. This definitely isn't going to be good.
"Shannon?" I ask carefully, trying not to get kicked in the face with dirt. "What the hell are you doing?" I stare at him like I'm shocked (even though I have been watching) and roll my eyes. "What did the dirt ever do to you?"
"Shut up, Matt," he mumbles, walking away from me.
Wait! It's not supposed to end like this…I don't think. "Shannon!" I yell, jogging to keep up with him, as he roams around the woods. "What is going on?" He looks at me like he has no idea what I'm talking about. "Don't play dumb with me, damn it. I saw you and Charity go off before. What happened?"
"Nothing fucking happened." With that, he stalks off again, avoiding my gaze. I sigh, and roll my eyes. Why was he being a drama queen? "Leave me alone, Matt," he hisses, noticing that I'm following him.
"Why are you acting like you're in high school?" I shoot back, slamming my hand into the tree nearest me. "Something obviously happened. Do you like her, or something? What did you do this time?" I ask, hands on my hips. This stops him and he does a full 180 degrees turn around.
The way his eyes are glaring at me, dark and pissed, I silently wonder if I pushed it too far. "What do you fucking always assume its something, I did. Not this time!" He goes to turn, then stops and eyes me. "And for the record, yes, I like her. But it doesn't matter, Matt. She's a fucking head case."
Oh he did not just fucking say that. He doesn't even know her! I chase after him, the woods around us getting deeper as he stalks around. "Hey, wait a second. Aren't you going to tell me what the hell happened? We're friends, if you don't remember!" He doesn't stop. "Shannon, c'mon, why doesn't it matter?" I plead. Beth better be having better luck with Charity, or, well, we're screwed. Damn Shannon and his hardheaded-ness.
He stops cold in his stepping, and turns to face me, eyes bolder than his old Mohawk. "Do you really care?" I nod, of course I care! What kind of stupid question is that? He sighs, sitting down on a fallen tree. I sit next to him; waiting for him to say something first, didn't want to screw anything up. "She's addicting," he whispers.
"What?" I ask, unsure if I heard him correctly.
"She's addicting. Its like…when I met her…I had to stop, because it was weird. She is gorgeous Matt! And she isn't just a pretty face, either. I feel like a loser high school kid all over again, stalking that girl down the hall, which keeps shooting me down, telling me that I'm stupid."
"Jenni Stine?" I ask. Shannon groans. "Alright, we won't bring her up."
"Anyway, I just tried to get to know her a little, which isn't easy. She likes a lot of weird bands of never heard of, and this song, Lips of an Angel—"
"You've never heard Lips of an Angel?" I ask with disbelief. "I have it on my myspace. It's a good song."
He rolls his eyes. "No, whatever. I finally think when she lets me tattoo her that we could be getting somewhere, and then…I don't know, I had the idea that she maybe liked me too, you know? I went up to her room to wait for her, to talk before this party…and I made a tiny…okay medium move, and she kissed me."
"She what?" I swear I just felt jealousy go through my veins.
"She kissed me! And we were getting into it too, it was getting heated, but then, she pushed me off and turned back into the cold hearted bitch she was before. I tried to fix it with her before and now she won't even talk to me. She tells me she doesn't like me, Matt and I just feel stupid, I guess. I think she could be lying…" God, I hope not. Oh, shit, did I just think that? Fuck, fuck, fuck. "But, I'm not sure. She gave me stupid reasons why we couldn't happen, and I just feel fucking used."
"Right," I say slowly, unsure of what to say. I'm more trying to control the feeling of jealousy, because it's obvious: she likes Shannon. Beth was right; she had to of…right? No, be wrong. Be WRONG.
"Is that all you're gonna say?" he asks a hint of anger in his voice.
"I'm not sure what to say," I admit, which wasn't a lie. If I told him, he'd be pissed, but what do you say when you find out that quite possibly you're crushing on the same girl as your best friend? Exactly. "I don't know what to tell you, Shannon. She's almost broken. You have to give her time."
"We don't have forever," he points out. "She leaves soon, remember? And now she's not talking to me."
"Right. Well, let nature take its course, I guess, Shan," I tell him, trying hard to sound genuine. "If it's meant to be, it'll happen, right?"
Shannon looks around, a little uncertain. "Right."
-Beth's POV-
"Charity?" I whisper, tugging on one of her iPod earphones. She opens one eye cautiously, as if she expected me to be Shannon. The girl turns her music off and sits up. "Can I talk to you for a minute?"
She nods. "What's up?"
I look around. Jeff and Shane are eyeing me, and Jamie is knocked out. "Is everything okay between you and Shannon? Did he do something? You both seemed pretty upset before when you came back…from wherever you went." I bite my lip, hoping she wouldn't lie to me.
Charity flashes me a timid smile which I don't buy for one minute. Hopefully, Matt's having a better time with the idiot…I mean, er, Shannon. "Everything is fine. Just a little misunderstanding between us, you know?"
I give her a false smile of my own, and try to hide the fact that she is most lying to me, and that I'm hurt. "Oh, yeah, totally. Just tell me if he does something, okay? Shannon is a good guy, just a little over zealous sometimes."
"I know," she says, slipping on her shades.
"Alright." I stand there awkwardly for a moment, before shaking my head and walking toward Jeff. Something is up…just what is it?
